I can think of a few reasons the market is liking this:

- The US domestic mail order DVD business has nothing to do with the high growth overseas streaming market.
- Each side of the company becomes a more attractive aquisition target with the businesses split.
- More shareholder value as distinct business units.
- Domestic streaming only customers won't have to look at huge libraries of movies that can't see.
- DVD only customers won't affect what Netflix has to pay for streaming content.

I think Reed knows what he's doing. A lot of people don't, but I do.

Clearly, this was the plan when the pricing plans were split.
